Topic: Canon EOS M Specs (Read 40464 times)

This product exists simply to make the Rebel T4i look good. If these are $399 with the EF adapter included (dream on) then OK people will have them as backups. Otherwise they fall into the uncanony valley of not for pockets and not for pro's. A gewgaw best liquidated as raffle prizes in the hope of selling lenses.

But, then again, none of the mirror less interchangeable lens cameras are of interest to me. (Don't like holding a camera body out a foot from my face squinting in the sun and the whole interchangeable lens thing seems to defeat the purpose of having a smallish alternative to a DSLR.)

Still I know I'm in the minority and not the target market for this camera. The Nikon 1 system seems to be selling very well, and this is clearly superior. If they can outsell Nikon and their lesser competitors (which I believe they will) this will be a huge success for Canon.

I could see this as my second camera (I have a 7d). APS-C and EF adapter sounds great as long as it's not overpriced. I'm hearing that there's a lot of "Anti-DSLR" at venues and events where they see a 5d and say you can't bring it. This camera could fit the bill perfectly. Only thing I don't like so far (from what little info I've seen) is that there is no view finder.

I have to say, I really don't understand the mirrorless DSLR concept. Who buys these things?

Also - is there a reason why Canon does not offer 720 at 30p video on any of their cameras? I don't need 1080, but I don't want 60p for some shots. Plus I would think you can shoot more on a card at 720/30.

Those of you who say there isn't a market for something like this, I disagree.I'm currently using an S95 when we go on family trips, which I love.Personally, there is no way I'd ever carry a DSLR with me.If I would, there wouldn't be an issue in my mind.Something like this would be a huge step up.I'd love an EVF--maybe the rumored Fall release.
